I think I still have a 20MB Tulin 3.5" drive around somewhere.  And 
there's always the Imation Superdrive available in SCSI.

In conventional floppies, Teac offered the FD-235HS 3.5" in SCSI.

And there were makers (Xebec, OMTI) of SCSI-to-floppy bridge cards.

SCSI floppies are fine as long as you don't need to get "creative" 
with sector sizing and ID marks.  Remember that SCSI is essentially a 
relative-block type of protocol, so you can forget about reading 
those Microsoft DMF floppies.
